Napa Wedding Venues

The Ultimate Guide to the Best Napa Wedding Venues

If you are looking into Napa wedding venues for your big day, look no further! Napa is a hugely popular location known for its award-winning wineries and country charm, and is one of the most sought after destinations in Northern California. With so many places to choose from, let’s help you narrow down your list of possibilities by highlighting some of the best Napa wedding venues below (entire Napa Valley included).

Harvest Inn (St. Helena)

Having a Harvest Inn wedding allows you a handful of options to choose for your wedding. They offer a few lawn and terrace options that all offer differing views of the scenic vineyards and rolling hills in the background. With an ideal count of 75 – 120 guests, the venue will cater to you and your guests needs with great detail despite such a large property.

Auberge du Soleil (Rutherford)

Set amidst a 33-acre olive grove, Auberge du Soleil’s hillside presence provides amazing views of the Napa Valley. Just a few miles north of the town of Napa, there are many options for your ceremony. La Pagode is an Asian-inspired pavilion surrounded by olive trees, vineyards, and a sculpture garden featuring over a hundred works. Meanwhile, the venue’s Terrace location provides an outdoor setting paired with Vista rooms that serve as a great setting for a reception. This is one of the area’s premier locations and typically has high demand, so be sure to book far in advance.

Fairview Napa (Napa)

If you are a busy couple looking to find something all-inclusive to make wedding planning as easy as possible, The Fairview Napa is an excellent choice. They offer four (4) distinct packages from the the Essentials to the Elite. The reception pavilion offers sparking chandeliers and stunning lake views. 

The Estate Yountville (Yountville)

This is a luxury estate perfectly attuned to an elegant, jovial ceremony. For those looking for a true Wine Country experience, look no further than this Napa wedding venue. You will find that luxury can indeed be easygoing. Here you will find a total of six event spaces. The favorite is clearly the vineyard; however, a hidden gem is the barrel room with high ceiling, wrought iron décor, brick walls, and wooden rafters. It really gives a rustic look that pops. You’ll also receive group rates for your guests at the five-star hotel.

Churchill Manor (Napa)

Churchill Manor is a premier Napa wedding venue designed with an elegant aesthetic. Indoor and outdoor weddings of up to 150 people are available year round. Located one block away from downtown Napa, it allows guests to explore the city before or after your wedding day.

Inn on Randolph (Napa)

The Inn of Randolph is a favorite Napa wedding venue for many couples. This 19th century estate serves as a boutique luxury inn fitting for an intimate Napa Valley wedding. Perfect for a small ceremony or elopement, you will exchange vows in front of a cute little gazebo amidst a romantic garden. Host a sit-down dinner in the courtyard or indoors. The Inn also provides a range of additional services including on-site florists, a cocktail hour, or hair & makeup. This is a great setting for couples who want to spend a lot of time celebrating with a small group of friends and family.

River Terrace Inn (Napa)

An award-winning Napa wedding venue, the River Terrace Inn has a large, 3,000 square foot outdoor terrace overlooking the river. This space opens up to a ballroom with French doors and low-hanging chandeliers, creating an elegant reception hall. The property also has a variety of locations that provide for excellent photographs to capture the memories of that special day.

Napa Valley Wine Train (Napa)

This is perhaps the most unique Napa wedding venue since it is an actual train that can take your guests on a tour of the Napa Valley for between three and six hours depending upon the package. The linear layout of the train provides a multitude of options for mingling with guests and enjoying the scenery. Up to 300 guests can be included while the cars themselves feature fine cherry wood and lace tablecloths. It will feel as if you have been transported back in time as you tour the rolling hills of Napa.

Indian Springs Resort (Calistoga)

Indian Springs brands itself as a “modern bohemian retreat.” The resort is adorned with olive trees, palm trees, roses, and herbs. The highlight of this location is an Olympic mineral pool first built in 1910. If you are looking for something other than the typical Napa winery wedding, you’ll find it here. There are many available settings, but our favorite in this Napa wedding venue has to be a tossup between the mountainside garden and the barn. Small, intimate ceremonies can fit perfectly in the alley, a clearing in a grove of olive trees with twinkling lights. Just a short 30-minute drive from Napa, this place is filled with charm.
